The Internet of Things (IoT) has recently emerged as enabling technology for the smart gird, smart health, smart transportation, and smart environment as well as for smart cities. The major smart grid devices are smart home appliances, distributed renewable energy resources and power substations. The seven domains existing smart grid conceptual model was developed without the IoT concept in min...

Smart Classroom is a Smart Space developed to enhance traditional tele-education practice. This paper describes the considerations of bringing forward Smart Platform as the software infrastructure of Smart Classroom system, abandoning the former implementation based on OAA. As a multiagent system for Smart Space, Smart Platform encompasses following features: spontaneous discovery of runtime en...

Smart camera networks are real-time distributed embedded systems that perform computer vision using multiple cameras. This new approach has emerged thanks to a confluence of simultaneous advances in four key disciplines: computer vision, image sensors, embedded computing, and sensor networks. In this chapter, we briefly review and classify smart camera platforms and networks into single smart c...

Smart Houses are a prominent field of research referring to environments adapted to assist people in their everyday life. Older people and people with disabilities would benefit the most from the use of Smart Houses because they provide the opportunity for them to stay in their home for as long as possible. In this review, the developments achieved in the field of Smart Houses for the last 16 y...

The convergence of sensors, smart objects, wearable devices, communications (Internet, wireless, mobile), intelligent information processing (filtering, feature extraction, feature selection), and information fusion/detection technologies, has given birth to a new field of study and applications, called Internet of Things (IoT), Smart Planet, Cyber Physical Systems (CPS), Smart Sensing or 物联网 (...

smart home is composed of several controllers with different plants in control. if each controller works independently, without considering the mutual effect of the others in the control process, the whole system could definitely not converge to an optimum desired status and may not ever reach the demanded condition. the function of different controller system may has conflict in some condition...
